ABB PILA HENF209556R0002

Product Brief:​ The PILA family (P = Photoelectric, I = Infrared, L = Light curtain, A = Active/Auto-reset etc.) are ABB JOKAB Safety photoelectric safety devices. The specific PILA HENF… reference typically denotes a Type 4 safety light curtain (finger/hand detection) or a high-performance retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with background suppression, used for:

  • Machine perimeter guarding (light curtain → safety relay / Pluto safety PLC)
  • Part presence / absence detection on conveyor
  • Safety gate monitoring (with safety-rated OSSD outputs)

    The device emits pulsed infrared (880 nm) or red visible (650 nm) light and evaluates received intensity / beam break against safety criteria (for Type 4: muting, blanking, restart interlock per EN ISO 13855/13849).

Description

ABB PILA HENF209556R0002

  • Technical Specifications (typical for PILA safety light curtain — 14 mm resolution, 150 mm–6 m range):
    • Type: Type 4 per EN ISO 13849-1 / IEC 61496-1/2 (AOPD — Active Opto-electronic Protective Device)
    • Resolution (finger/hand): 14 mm (finger), 30 mm (hand), 50 mm (body) — depends on model code
    • Protected Height: 150 mm – 1800 mm (multiple lengths available)
    • Scanning Range: 0–6 m (with proper reflector for retro-reflective version; through-beam longer)
    • Response Time: ≤14 ms (typical for 14 mm res curtain)
    • OSSD Outputs: 2 × OSSD (Output Signal Switching Device) — p-type, test pulses per Type 4, short-circuit & cross-fault monitored
    • Supply Voltage: 24 V DC ±20 %
    • Indicators: Alignment LEDs, Fault, Beam Broken, Power
    • Mounting: Aluminum profile with M6/M8 threaded holes; adjustable brackets included
    • Operating Temp.: –10 °C to +55 °C (–25 °C some versions)
    • Protection: IP65 / IP67 (front face); IP20 (cable entry)
    • Certifications: CE, TÜV, cULus, UKCA
  • Functional Features (safety light curtain version):
    • Dual OSSD outputs — connect to safety relay (e.g., D674A905U01 type) or Pluto safety controller
    • Built-in muting (optional 2- or 4-sensor muting for material passage)
    • Restart interlock — requires manual reset after curtain break (unless configured for auto-restart in non-safety zone)
    • Misalignment tolerance ±5° typical; alignment LEDs aid installation
    • Self-test each scan cycle — detects internal fault / cross-short → OSSD off → safe state
  • Application Scenarios:
    • Press brake / punch press finger protection (14 mm res curtain)
    • Conveyor entry/exit guarding (hand/body res curtain or through-beam sensor)
    • Robot cell perimeter guard — tie OSSD to robot safety stop input via safety relay
    • Part detection on packaging line — retro-reflective PILA photoelectric (non-safety) for product count / jam detect
  • Material & Structure / Working Principle / Installation / Precautions:
    • Mount emitter & receiver (or emitter/receiver + reflector for retro) rigidly — vibration > alignment tolerance causes nuisance trips
    • Align using built-in alignment LEDs; tighten set-screws after alignment
    • Wire OSSD A & B to safety relay / safety PLC inputs (follow wiring diagram — OSSD are not simple dry contacts; need compatible safety input)
    • Test function after installation: break beam → machine must stop / alarm; reset via E-Stop reset or guard reset button
    • Precautions:
      • Safety-rated versions (Type 4) MUST be part of a validated safety function​ — risk assessment defines required PL / SIL; do NOT substitute with general-purpose photoelectric for safety function
      • Keep front face clean — dust/oil film can attenuate IR below detection threshold → nuisance fault or (worse) undetected break
      • Do NOT bypass OSSD test pulses — connecting OSSD directly to standard PLC input (non-safety) may not recognize test pulses correctly; use safety-rated input or safety relay
      • For outdoor / high-dust: consider heated window or air purge — condensation/icing causes false trips
